Ok, let's do that... that'll require a few code changes... but nothing
too complex.

Cool, that will help a lot!

Just did it yesterday night.

      * Refined contrast by making a light blue / dark blue line -->
        unusual line for LibO (means people might notice that it's some
        markup)

I can't understand what you mean here... Can you give me some details?

Yes, I've used a line (middle color, full stroke, see below) as a
background and added another one (dark color, narrow dashed) at the top.
This will work on all kinds of backgrounds (dark and bright, even
changing), and is visually more pleasing (no hard contrast changes like
for simple dashed lines).

Ok I see: indeed it makes sense and isn't too hard to draw another line
there.

Don't forget that those colors are configured, is there any way to
compute one of the two colors form the other one?

Yep, although I had to note the Inkscape changes the colors strangely
when simply switching between pages in the the color definition
dialog ... so the given colors were slightly wrong, sorry!

I've "picked" the original color "a2dcfd" (middle color for the bottom)
and used the HSL color model to add 20 (range: 0...255) and the result
is "caebfe" (bright color for the top). If small variations occur, then
this doesn't matter at all. Does that help?

Sure it helps, but I assume you added the 20 to the Luminance value, is
that right? I'll see what happens for colors with colors with a hight
Luminance...

      * (Anti-aliasing due to my graphics program)

Hum, I'll try to play with the OutputDevice configuration, it may be a
bit to change to get it Anti-Aliased.

Oh, thanks! I've just wanted to mention that my graphics program does
anti-aliased output only, so that might be the cause for further
differences in the original / improved version. But if anti-aliasing
works, that would be awesome ...

I'll have a look at this: AA is implemented in LO basic output layers,
let's use it.

@ Astron: Just an explanation for the "+" sign. We've used the icon from
Calc for "New Sheet". The green on blue doesn't work well, that's right,
but it conforms to the rest of the icon set. But, I don't have strong
feelings on that ... so using a black icon is fine! Let's try it :-) 

So, Astron, thanks for the cool input! :-)
And Cedric, thanks for the cool output! ;-)

Mmh, shouldn't we soon put together a blog post about that? The initial
discussions, the nice hackfest work, the final outcome with lots of
(tiny but) helpful features? What do you both think?

Sure, I was thinking about it... and of course put write up on the 3.5
new features wiki page.
